Orion™ Introduction

Introduction

Orion™ is a TL-3 barrier made up of steel units that when joined together using a steel pin and pinned to the ground at each end provides positive work zone barrier protection to temporary construction sites and other miscellaneous roadside activities.

The unique Orion™ internal frames, profile design using standard guardrail panels and steel pin allow the barrier to be installed straight or down to a minimum radius of 355m (1165’) if required.

If required the Orion™ TL-3 barrier can be used with proprietary TL-3 Crash Cushions which negates the need to shield or flare the ends of the barrier.

Orion™ has been designed and tested to meet the evaluation criteria of NCHRP 350 Test Level 3 (TL-3) for a longitudinal barrier.

When correctly installed the system is capable of stopping, containing or re-directing an errant vehicle in a safe manner under NCHRP 350 impact conditions.

System Overview

Orion™ TL-3 barrier is designed and constructed to provide acceptable structural adequacy, minimal occupant risk and safe trajectory as set forth in NCHRP 350 for longitudinal barriers.

When impacted with an 820kg (1810lbs) or 2000kg (4410lbs) vehicle at speeds of up to 100kph(62mph) and angles up to 25 degrees, the impacting vehicle is stopped, re-directed or contained in a safe manner.

Before Installation

Placement of Orion™ shall be in accordance with the design as provided for the temporary work zone. Installation shall be in accordance with the installation instructions supplied for this product.

Depending on the circumstances at the site, installation including unloading (using a flat deck truck with crane hoist) should take no more than 2 minutes for each 11.7m (38’4”) unit.

Orion™ is a highly engineered safety device made up of a relatively small number of parts. Before starting installation ensure that one is familiar with the make up of the system.

Orion™ Introduction cont.

Limitations and Warnings

Orion™ TL-3 barrier has been rigorously tested and evaluated per the evaluation criteria in the NCHRP 350 guidelines for a longitudinal barrier. The impact conditions recommended in NCHRP 350 are intended to address typical in-service collisions.

When properly installed and maintained Orion™ TL-3 barrier allows an impacting vehicle to be stopped, contained or re-directed in a safe and predictable manner under the NCHRP 350 impact conditions.

Vehicle impacts that vary from the NCHRP 350 impact conditions described for longitudinal barriers may result in significantly different results than those experienced in testing. Vehicle impact characteristics different than, or in excess of, those encountered in NCHRP 350 testing (weight, speed and angle) may result in system performance that may not meet the NCHRP 350 evaluation criteria.

The Orion™ barrier can be installed with proprietary crash cushions. If a crash cushion is not used, the end of the barrier must be shielded or flared as per Road Controlling Authority’sguidelines.

Safety Statements

General Safety

• All required traffic safety precautions should be complied with. All workers should wear required safety clothing (high visibility vests, steel capped footwear, gloves etc.)

• Only authorized trained personnel should operate any machinery. Where overhead machinery is used, care must be taken to avoid any overhead hazards.

• Gloves should be worn at all times.

Orion™ Safety Statements

• All installers must be well clear when unloading the units from the truck deck.

• To aid with placement, guy ropes should be attached to each end of the unit. At no time is it required that an installer be positioned between the units.

• Orion™ is a stand alone barrier except for the end units which are anchored to the ground using pins. Pay particular attention to the SWMS outlined in the installation instructions in this manual when drilling and fixing these pins.

• Each 11.7m (38’4”) unit weighs 900kg (1985lbs) make sure that all equipment used to unload and maneuvre the units are approved for use.

• Final positioning of the units and placement of the steel pin connectors should be done by 1

4

personnel so as to remove the risk of hands and fingers being caught between the components.

System Design & Design Considerations

SlopesA maximum slope of 1:10 is preferable.On slopes greater than this, follow the Road Controlling Authority’s guidelines.

CurbsAs with all road side safety hardware, Orion™ has been designed and tested so that the centre of gravity of the impacting vehicle is at a constant height in relation to the barrier. For this reason, it is preferred that curbs or channels are not in front or behind the barrier as they will result in altering the height of the vehicle at impact. If there is no option but to install in front or behind of a curb advice should be followed from the RoadControlling Authority’s guidelines.

Undulating ground conditionsSite specific grading may be necessary to ensure that there are no “humps” or “hollows” thatmay significantly alter the impacting vehicles stability or substantially alter the barrier height in relation to the ground.

Median and Roadside ApplicationsOrion™ Barrier can be used in both ‘roadside’ and ‘median’ applications.

Point of NeedWhen installed correctly, which includes pinning to the ground at each end, the Orion™ barrier is fully re-directive. Ensure that when installing the barrier that it is of sufficient length. For further details consult the Road Controlling Authority’s guidelines.

End TreatmentThere are a number of proprietary crash cushions that can be used to protect the ends of anOrion™ barrier. Model selection and correct usage shall be in accordance with the manufacturers corresponding instructions. If an end treatment is not used it may be required to flare or shield the barrier as per Road Controlling Authority’s guidelines.

Soil ConditionsThe Orion™ is always anchored at either end, the minimum thickness of either asphalt or concrete is 50mm (2”). Orion™ is installed above ground so soil conditions on site are not applicable, however it is recommended Orion™ is installed on a compacted surface.

Orion™ - Installation Preparation

Getting Started

It is essential that Orion™ TL-3 barrier is installed correctly. Please carefully read and understand the following instructions before installing.

Note: These instructions relate only to the installation of Orion™ and are for standard installations only.

Orion™ is designed so that it has exactly the same components and barrier setup whether in a ‘roadside’ or ‘median’ application. For all installations, start at one end and connect the units together until the correct barrier length and position is achieved.

Preparation

Before installing Orion™, ensure that all components required for the system are on site andhave been identified. Orion™ barrier is a highly engineered safety device made up of relatively small number of parts. Before starting installation ensure that one is familiar with the make up of the system. Refer to the Parts Identification and Bill of Materials section in this manual for more information.

Ensure that the area where Orion™ is to be installed is flat enough and compacted so that theground conditions will not significantly alter the height of the vehicle in relation to the height of the barrier.

Minor site grading may be required.

Tools Required

The 11.7m (38’4”) long Orion™ units weigh approx 900kg (1985lbs) each so placement and maneuvering must be done by a crane hoist or similar. All lifting equipment used must be certified for use and undertaken by approved personnel.

A lifting device specifically designed for the Orion™ is available which can attach and release from the barrier unit remotely. This negates the need for personnel to manually attach lifting devices to the Orion™ when on the ground, truck deck or stacked for storage. For further information contact your Orion™ distributer.

The units at either end are fixed to the ground using 8x M24 (1”) anchor pins each so a 28mm(1⅛”) diameter drill bit, drill and generator will be required on site.

Note: Installations may be in either asphalt or concrete and anchor depth will be either 450mm(18”) or 150mm (6”) respectively.

Orion™ - Installation Instructions

Step 1 – Site Preparation

It is preferred that Orion™ barrier is installed on compacted flat, level ground.

Ensure that sufficient width and traffic control is available before installing Orion™. Due to the length and weight of the units, deployment will be from a flat deck truck or similar.

Orion barrier should be installed in a tangent position to the direction of travel.

NEVER PLACE HANDS OR FINGERS BETWEEN THE UNITS WHEN MANEUVERING

Step 2 – Connecting to the Barrier Units

Connect the lifting hooks and chain to the 2 lifting eyes located on the intermediateframes. (shown in Figure 1)

When the load is taken up on the barrier and chain make sure that the hook has maintained the correct orientation in order to take the weight. (shown in Figure 2)

Step 5 – Connecting the Barrier Units

Once the units are ‘flush fit’ aligned, the steel pin connector can be positioned down the 2 vertical alignment holes. (shown in Figure 7 & 8)

The steel pin connector sits in the vertical holes under its own weight only and is not connected to the barrier units in any other way.

Note: If slight curvature of the barrier is required, position as required at this point.

Figure 7. Figure 8.

Make sure that the steel pin connector sits fully inside the barrier end. (shown in Figure 9)

A sledge hammer and wooden block may be required.

Disconnect the hooks from the lifting eyes so that the truck can move along and the process repeated for the remaining barrier units. (shown in Figure 10)

Orion™ – Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance

Orion™ TL-3 steel barrier is maintenance free.

As with all galvanised systems the barrier will not be immune to corrosion over long periods of time and depending on the circumstances on site, the useful life of the barrier can be expected to be approx 25 years.

All splice bolts are machine tightened when manufactured are fixed with ‘lock tight’ so to resist vibration and remain in place as intended.

Repair

After a typical impact

Recommended tools:• Flat deck truck• Crane Hoist or similar complete with appropriate lifting equipment• A crow bar or similar• A hand held angle grinder complete with cutting wheel

Replacement parts required for a severe impact:• Orion™ Steel Units• Steel Pin Connectors• If the End Units and anchor points are damaged contact your nearest Orion™ distributer.

Key Steps:• Separate the damaged components by removing the steel pin connectors. (it may be

necessary to cut or pry the components apart)• Assess which components are damaged and replace with new parts accordingly.• Connect replacement units to the undamaged section of the barrier and align as required.• Fit the replacement steel pin connectors between each unit.

For further information consult the Orion™ Installation Instructions section in this manual.13

After fire damage

Orion™ is made entirely out of steel and joined together using steel pin connectors. Therefore it is highly unlikely that even under extreme conditions, like large fires, that the components of the system can be damaged. The galvanised surface of the components does have the ability to resist extreme heat for short periods of time due to the chemical make up. If however the barrier units are deemed unfit for use, replace the damaged units as described above and as outlined in the Orion™ Installation Instructions section in this manual.

Orion™ – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What type of equipment is required to install Orion™?Each unit weighs 900kg (1985lbs) so to unload and position a crane hoist or similar with approved lifting equipment must be used. Units are joined together by simply fitting the steel pin connectors by hand. A drill is also required when fixing the end units to the ground with the M24(1”) anchor pins.

2) Does your company provide spare parts? What is the lead-time for supply?It is important to fix a damaged barrier as soon as possible because it most probably won’t perform as required when damaged. Replacement components are available from your nearest Orion™ distributer.

3) On average, how long does it take to install an Orion™ Barrier?Depending on the application and circumstances at the site, installation and assembly of the system should take approx. 2 minutes to install each 11.7m (38’4”) unit.

4) What about vandalism, can Orion™ be easily damaged?The units are constructed using steel guardrail panels and frames that would not easily be damaged. The construction is similar to ‘other’ steel guardrail barriers and this is not considered an issue.

5) How easily can Orion™ be restored after impact?The system is made up of very few components and is modular so easily repaired. A flat deck truck with a crane hoist, crow bar and hand held angle grinder with cutting wheel may berequired to reinstate.

6) What maintenance is required? What is the expected performance life?Orion™ is a maintenance free barrier. All components are galvanised steel and unless damaged or subjected to conditions worse than ‘normal’ a unit has an expected useful lifespan of 25 years.

7) What is the Deflection of Orion™ Barrier?The maximum deflection recorded during actual crash testing with the standard anchoring set up at TL-3 was 1.85m. If additional pins are installed along the length of the barrier as per manufacturers’ recommendations the resulting barrier is a ‘low deflection’ alternative with a 0.95m deflection.

8) What is Orion™ Barrier connected to?14
